To al l 1'hofm it 'may conm:

Be itknown that I, LoUis Sowhn'r, a citizenojf the'Uni'ted States, and aresident ofthe `eity of New York, borough, of Man-v 5 hatten, in 'the county .and State of New York, have invented a new; and ImprovedV Hand-1e forSafety-Ra'zors, of Vwhichy the following'is a full, 'lear,.and.exact description. The 'invention' lrelates to safety razors,

4 10 and has for its'object to'prov-d'e a handle for safety razors', .1n which -a blade can be quickly'andeectively clamped. A further ob'ectof the invention is' to i tpro'videa handle, the Vparts of which can b readily taken-'apart orjassembled.

A still Vfurther object ofthe invention's 5to construct the head me'mbe' which holds ,'the blade, in such a waythatit can be removed without removing any other parts 2 9 the h'iidl'e.

The invention consists in the construction and combination of, parts to -bemo fully described `hereinafter"- andparticularly set glforthinthe elainisifhadt'o theaccompanyf ting. drawings vforming a Vpart of" this speci-- fieation', in which-similarcharactersjof ref-A ier-ence indicate- 'corresponding parts'in all'` the figures.-

't the rib 6 a set 'screw 9. is inserte-d. This .set Screw pro; jects into the interior ofthe `handle fand engages the shoulder 8 so as vto prevent` the 60 'stem frorn being 4Ien'ived Without removing the screw. On the opposite end ofthe hanf die, as indicated most clearly'in Fig. 2, a curved guard or Vcomb I is provided, and this guard is rovided with guard teeth 'oi'.'65 'fingers A11 at its side edges, `and these Side edges are nt parallehbut converge toward ach other, a'ssl'iivn. Y 'w The -blfide V12 'is offthinsteel or "similar material, and presents Q poisteiydispogedzvo ct'ting'dges-I which vv'i l converge as indi- "cted '1n'Fig.3,-so that the blade conforms 'outline toy the shape 'of the guard.
